What is the original factory finish on the JL8 front Caliper Brackets, Silver or Gold?

When I took mine off you could still see the gold finish where the back of the brackets contact the spindle boss. It didn't look like they had ever been off but I don't know for sure.

wundercluck,
Thanxs for the quick response. I feel confident to have them replated gold with your response. Are you plating your brackets gold.

Everything I've seen indicates they should be gold cad plated. I don't have my parts with me so I can't actually look at them, they are at the shop.

This is the longest I have ever owned a car! 8 years and 1 month, and it has been taken apart for 8 years!
